#HongKong : déjà 1 500 jours de détention arbitraire pour Jimmy Lai. Détenu la plupart du temps à l'isolement, le patron de presse en cours de jugement risque la prison à vie en vertu de la loi sur la sécurité nationale. Il doit être libéré ! #FreeJimmyLai https://rsf.org/en/hong-kong-national-security-trial-jimmy-lai-symbol-press-freedom-will-begin-six-months

Testifying in his trial under Hong Kong's national security law, Jimmy Lai said, "The core values of Apple Daily are actually the core values of the people of Hong Kong."

He defined these values as, "rule of law, freedom, pursuit of democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly."

Amnesty International call for the immediate release of Hong Kong publisher Jimmy Lai

"The authorities’ cruel persecution of Jimmy Lai is motivated solely by his exercise of the right to freedom of expression and commitment to press freedoms. He is a prisoner of conscience, and the Hong Kong authorities must release him immediately and unconditionally, drop the charges and expunge all his criminal convictions."

I might get internationally wanted for saying this, but at this point, I don't care.
